Disappointing race for Force India drivers
16 March 2008 / Results / PhotosThe Force India Formula 1 team faced a difficult start of the season. Adrian Sutil started from the pit lane after his qualifying incident cracked his chassis but had to end his race early with a hydraulic pressure problem. Team mate Fisichella was already pushed out of the race entering the first corner.

Speaking about his race Adrian Sutil said: "A big disappointment, especially when I watched the race afterwards, but it was good while it lasted. In the opening laps I could stay with the guys in front of me and could overtake to get up to 13th position, but then I had a hydraulic pressure problem. I had to go back to the pits, so at that point my race was over. We have to hope for more in Malaysia, but I think we showed an improvement over last year, particularly over the longer runs in practice, so I am confident we can really do better there."

Fisichella's race was even worse as he didn't even get any further than Turn 1. He said about his shortened race: "I am very disappointed as I lost the race at the first corner because another driver came in like a kamikaze into my car and it was very frustrating, especially considering a race like this where there was a possibility to score lots of points. It was a good opportunity and I am really disappointed. Let's hope for more in Malaysia."
